Our group of suburban seniors loved the tour; Dan was charming, interesting, full of Chicago facts, history, great people stories and trivia. We were all charmed by our new knowledge of the city. We didn't want the tour to end.

This was a pedway tour leaving from 111 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL The tour lasted approximately 2 1/2+ hours and our guide verbally apprised us of the history of Chicago from its origins of DuSable and through the reversible of the Chicago River. Booklets of pictures were dispersed adding another facet to this tour. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Taking the 2.5 hours Pedway tour from Chicago's Finest Tours 312-202-0745; www.chicagowalktour.com, was not only very educational, itmade all of us wonder why we never knew about the short cuts around the city. Daniel O Connell, the President, gave us the tour, and shared his love of the city. All 30 of us left felling sorry the afternoon had ended.... More

This was an amazing tour! We live in Chicago, but still learned many historical facts that we never knew. Our tour guide, Dan, was so much fun and had answers for everything and lots of humor too! We would recommend this tour to anyone who lives in Chicago for a fun day out or for out of town visitors also.

This is one of the best city tours i've experienced in the US. The guides, Dan and Sharon, did a wonderful job of providing information about the worst tragedies of Chicago's history. They must have done a tremendous amount of research! The tragedies all had two things in common: all were man-made, through carelessness or greed, and nobody was ever... More

This tour was filled with information pertaining to Chicago's history from it's first Indian settlers to the present. Now I know how the city became called the Second City and Windy City, how the Chicago Fire really started, about it's architecture, its... More

My sweetie and I did the Chicago History/Pedway tour with Chicago's Finest Tours (312.202.0745) or chicagowalktour.com, and just loved it. The tour guide was phenomenal and knew so much about Chicago. I've lived in Chicago all my life and never knew about most of the things he discussed. The people were great, it was just long/short enough where you didn't... More

This is the second tour I have taken with this company and highly recommend them. Great value for the price. Dan, our guide, knows the city well and peppers the evening with interesting trivia about Chicago. There are games with prizes and opportunities to sit and chat with others on the tour. The underground pedway is an interesting place to... More
